That's a DWIMmy feature, and those are often *bad* in language design. But if you can pin down your exact style (as here - you ALWAYS get the indentation right), you could - in theory, at least - configure your editor to notice that you left out the "def" and the colon, and add them for you. Definitely wants to be an editor feature though. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
